Find Ancestors

Hi Chris Ho :)

Thanks for the info, I do already have his record, it's what happened after his youngest child was born, frustrating man that he is!

Thanks again though,

Lisa

I'm not sure I'll ever get to the bottom of this one, he was in the Navy and there aren't too many Thomas Povers around so it could be him ...back on my 'lost the paper trail' for him I think?


Thanks argyllgran, just seen your update and think I need some coffee!lol,

Thank you for your help and time,
Lisa

Or this:

This one's a fireman. The age is wrong, but you never know.

He's not a passenger - he's an able seaman on the ship.
So there's no guarantee that he stayed in Australia - chances are he went on with the ship.

Hi argyllgran,

Thank you very much for having a look for me...oh the frustration, is it /isn't it him?
This man has driven me to distraction!

Thanks again
